First Android app from mHealth pioneer LifeMap Solutions makes mobile patient services portal available to leading healthcare system

NEW YORK – November 15, 2016 – LifeMap Solutions, a subsidiary of BioTime, Inc. (NYSE: BTX), and Mount Sinai Health System today announced that MountSinaiNY is now available for Android devices. This marks our entry into the large and critical Android market, after working with world-class medical and research institutions to build successful iOS apps for the ResearchKit platform.

“With MountSinaiNY, we’ve brought our expertise in building user-friendly apps to the Android platform to reach a larger patient population,” said Corey Bridges, CEO of LifeMap Solutions. “Reaching diverse populations is a key promise of the mHealth revolution, and we’re proud to play a role in making that a reality. Expanding into the Android market will improve the quality of large-scale research studies and the impact of clinical care apps.”

MountSinaiNY was developed by Mount Sinai’s Department of Information Technology and LifeMap Solutions. The app offers users a variety of features, including general facility information, appointment booking, bill pay, and access to patient medical records. Future updates to the app will include telemedicine capabilities, wayfinding, and enhanced access to Mount Sinai services.

About BioTime, Inc.

BioTime, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapies developed from what we believe to be the world’s premier collection of pluripotent stem cell assets. The foundation of our core therapeutic technology platform is pluripotent stem cells that are capable of becoming any of the cell types in the human body. Pluripotent stem cells have potential application in many areas of medicine with large unmet patient needs, including various age-related degenerative diseases and degenerative conditions for which there presently are no cures. Unlike pharmaceuticals that require a molecular target, therapeutic strategies based on the use of pluripotent stem cells are generally aimed at regenerating or replacing affected cells and tissues, and therefore may have broader applicability than pharmaceutical products.

The picturesque Modern Adventure is available for PC and PS4 and will shortly be out for Xbox One

HAMBURG – Nov. 15, 2016 – As of today, Silence is available on digital platforms such as Steam, GOG and the PlayStation® Store. Starting from Friday, November 18th, the modern adventure game by Daedalic Entertainment will also be available in the Microsoft® Store for Xbox One™ and Windows 10. With Xbox Play Anywhere, once the game has been started it can be continued on other Xbox One™ consoles and Windows 10 PCs.

War rages on. During an air raid, 16-year-old Noah and his little sister Renie seek shelter in a bunker. There, not only are they protected from the deadly bombardment, but are also at the crossroads of a world between life and death: Silence. When Noah’s sister gets lost in Silence, he is forced to venture into this idyllic yet threatening world to find her.

Silence, however, bears its own scars of war and suffering. Dark creatures haunt towns and cities and ravage this once serene place between worlds. Only a small band of rebels stands against the looming menace. Now it is up to the siblings to save Silence and its fantastic inhabitants from impending doom and thus also save their own lives.

Join Noah and Renie on their exciting journey through Silence where an emotionally gripping story of contrasts between serenity and danger unfolds. Meet fascinating and likeable characters like Spot, the magical caterpillar who helps Noah and Renie on their way through Silence. And witness when the siblings discover that the only thing that can save them is their love for each other.

Recent screenshots give new insights to the latest project of Daedalic and Mimimi Productions

HAMBURG – November 7, 2016 –As of today, the review version for Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, the real-time tactics game with stealth elements by Daedalic Entertainment and Mimimi Productions, is officially available. Thus, the action packed game is fully playable one month before official release. For a review key, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is scheduled for release on December 6th 2016 for PC, Mac and Linux. In 2017, the game will be released for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One™

In the year 1615, a new Shogun rises to power in Japan and strives to bring peace to the realm. In his battle against rebellion he recruits five specialists with extraordinary skills for assassination, sabotage and espionage.

One part of this team is Hayato, an agile ninja, who clears the way through his enemies silently with sword and shuriken. The Samurai Mugen is a bit more straight forward and can defeat more opponents at once at the expense of flexibility. Aiko is a master of camouflage when she distracts enemies as a Geisha, and the street child Yuki places traps and lures the enemies towards their deadly fate. Takuma, however, relies on his sniper rifle and takes care of enemies from a distance.

The player has to carefully evaluate his options in order to master challenging missions: how will the characters behave as a team? Which one is best equipped for each task? How can they master the given environment best? Come up with your own ingenious tactics to vanquish enemies and complete missions.

Local Entrepreneurial Community Lauds Company Culture and Approach to Business, Recognizes Hubb’s Innovative Approach to Event Content Management

Vancouver, Wash. – October 27, 2016 –Event technology startup Hubb today announced it has won the OEN Startup Stage Company Award at the annual OEN Tom Holce Entrepreneurship Awards Dinner, held on October 26. This year’s OEN Startup Stage Company Award received a record-breaking number of nominations, and Hubb was one of three finalists selected in September from a fiercely competitive field of local startups. Hubb’s event content management solution aims to change the way event managers create, manage, and market events. The company was chosen because its founder exemplifies the best entrepreneurial traits and has succeeded in building an equally impressive team. Hubb also addresses a compelling market problem that the founder has experienced firsthand and offers a solution that has been co-developed and beta-tested with those in the industry.

“We admire Hubb for building incredible technology that is changing event management, while also creating a positive and healthy work culture at the same time,” said Linda Weston, President and Executive Director of the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network. “Their drive and unique approach to business is what gave them the edge in this competition, and we can’t wait to see them grow.”

“It’s not every day that we get the opportunity to show off what Hubb can do to so many talented entrepreneurs. Being recognized as one of the top startups to watch by our peers is a huge honor,” said Allie Magyar, CEO of Hubb. “We built Hubb because we understand the pain that event managers feel when managing and marketing content for their events, and we’re on a mission to help them improve both the quality of their lives and events.”

Hubb creates a single location for event content that simplifies the process for collecting, managing, and marketing the abstracts, speakers and sponsors for conferences and meetings. By creating a “source of truth”, event organizers who use Hubb can avoid manually tracking the status of event content in Excel spreadsheets and spend more time improving their event. Hubb is recognized as one of the leading content management solutions for conferences and meetings–using Hubb to manage conference content takes just one-third of the time of traditional methods, and lets event managers market that content to attendees faster. The company is working with customers such as Microsoft and Tableau to help their in-house event teams oversee the programs for their major conferences.

Create and Conquer Your Own Civilization in the Multiplayer Sandbox

BRISBANE, Calif. – Oct. 25, 2016 –NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTES) has today announced the upcoming launch of Immortal Conquest, the company’s next mobile game release in Western markets. A free-to-play terrain-based strategy game, Immortal Conquest players will create and manage their own cities, expand on over 2 million pieces of land, maintain real alliances with other players to develop the limited land resources found on the map, and aim to conquer the entire world. Immortal Conquest will launch on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and Google Play for Android devices in the first quarter of 2017.

Immortal Conquest brings a strategy MMO to mobile in which players reign over their own kingdoms in a fantastical and far away land. Players share a common map where land and resources are limited – so the fight for control is on. Once one alliance claims ultimate victory, the map refreshes and the race for global domination begins again!

Players can select powerful gods to lead their military, each with their own unique characteristics and abilities. Utilize up to three in different combinations to outthink your enemy and strategically achieve different objectives. With gods at play, limited resources and the need to protect one’s own kingdom with a powerful army, players must work together to develop efficient strategies, arrange resources wisely and collect valuable information on enemies while maintaining their alliances. Ultimate victory will belong to the strongest alliances rather than the strongest single player and because the game is dependent on the real-time interaction of real players, there’s no one path to victory.

NetEase, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES) is a leading internet technology company in China. Dedicated to providing online services centered around content, community, communication and commerce, NetEase develops and operates some of China&#39;s most popular PC-client and mobile games, advertising services, e-mail services and e-commerce platforms.

Vancouver, Wash. – October 19, 2016 – Hubb, developer of cutting-edge event content management technology, today announced that it has raised a $3 million Series A funding round led by Oregon Angel Fund and Elevate Capital Management Fund.

Hubb intends to expand its marketing and sales efforts and grow its team to accelerate growth.

“Event managers are some of the hardest working professionals in the business world,” said Allison Magyar, CEO of Hubb. “This funding helps us take another step towards completing our vision of becoming a necessary piece of how event managers create and improve their meetings and conferences, while giving them time back they used to spend on manual processes.”

Oregon Angel Fund and Elevate Capital Management Fund support diverse, Oregon and Southwest Washington-based startups that are committed to growing their business and making an impact on their community. Elevate Capital, the venture capital firm that also participated in Hubb’s seed round, selected Hubb as one of six local recipients of its first ever Elevate Inclusive Fund. This fund invests in very early stage startups led by underrepresented minority entrepreneurs including women, communities of color, and veterans. The fund includes high-profile investors such as Oregon Governor Kate Brown.

“Hubb is an innovative startup that represents the future of our region, directly contributing to the growth of the local economy with their killer ideas and execution,” said Nitin Rai, Managing Director of Elevate Capital. “We invested in Allie Magyar and her team. Their incredible track record over the past year in building a great event management technology platform made them an easy pick for our first investment fund”.

“We are very impressed with what Allison and her team have accomplished to date,” said Julianne Brands, partner at the Oregon Angel Fund. “They’ve built a sticky, best-of-breed platform that their enterprise customers are raving about. Customers told us this is the only solution they’ve seen that is clearly built by event managers for event managers. We’re excited to see them have access to the resources to maintain their phenomenal growth.”
